DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

The system of the invention is configured to simulate and assess an impact caused by a change in a resource demand (e.g., a change in an input/output workload) and/or a change in a utilized storage technology due to a data migration. The invention addresses the need for accurate forecasting of data storage and transfer needs from ensuring configuration changes and providing adequate resource provisioning to avoid system failures such as reaching a memory breach point or a stack overflow point. The system enables input/output modeling and simulation to constantly assess the input/output dynamics due to downstream changes while also quantifying a rate of change in storage resource consumption in order to proactively predict the change in needs of a data structure. The system is configured to constantly analyze input/output behavior and detect subtle changes in a constructed model while recording the consumption and usage patterns of a stored data structure and/or a storage location. The system is further configured to optimally allocate input/output streams dynamically based on the monitored and modeled data. In some embodiments, the invention equips storage administrators with the ability to simulate the possible load due to new applications in a development environment and proactively calculate an accurate or efficient sizing of a data storage location environment.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to improvements to data transfer and storage technology and, in particular, as applied to the migration or deployment of an application or other data structure within a data storage location. In some embodiments, the present system is configured to first determine a new workload request associated with a data structure (e.g., a layered data stack) and analyze resource usage patterns of the layers such as a rate of resource consumption and a volume of required resource for each layer. Using this data, the system is configured to simulate a change in the data structure resource demand for each of the layers of the data structure based on the new workload request by constructing a simulated model of the data structure under the new workload. The system then calculates an adaptive data storage resource configuration for the data structure at a data storage location, wherein storage resource at the data storage location are allocated for use by the various layers of the data structure based on individual consumption requirements and deployment priority (i.e., testing environment or production deployment environment).

Embodiments of the present invention use data storage hardware and resources as well as usage data in nonconventional, unexpected ways by proactively calculating storage configurations and leveraging simulated models in a development environment. The invention provides real-time user visibility of the impact on storage due to data structure or application changes. In some embodiments, the system is configured to proactively compute when a performance top of utilized data storage resources will be breached or when a stack overflow will occur. In some embodiments, the system is configured to add additional resource prior to a breach or overflow point to avoid failure and maintain application operation without performance degradation.

In some embodiments, the adaptive storage device utilization system 130 may be part of the entity systems 120. In other embodiments, the entity systems 120 are distinct from the adaptive storage device utilization system 130. The adaptive storage device utilization system 130 may communicate with the entity systems 120 via a secure connection generated for secure encrypted communications between the two systems either over the network 101 or alternative to the network 101.

As illustrated in detail in FIG. 4, the environment 100 further includes one or more entity systems 120 which are connected to the user device 110, the adaptive storage device utilization system 130, and the third party systems 140. The entity systems 120 may be associated with one or more entities, institutions, or the like. The entity systems 120 generally comprise a communication device 402, a processing device 404, and a memory device 406 further comprising data storage 408. The entity systems 120 comprise computer-readable instructions 410 stored in the memory device 406, which in one embodiment includes the computer-readable instructions of an entity application 412 and an storage device utilization application 414. The storage device utilization application 414 may be configured to assist in deploying a calculated data storage resource configuration at a data storage location maintained by the entity. The entity systems 120 may communicate with the user device 110, third party systems 140, and the adaptive storage device utilization system 130 to provide access to information and accounts stored and maintained on the entity systems 120. In some embodiments, the entity system 120 may communicate with the adaptive storage device utilization system 130 during an interaction with a user 102 in real-time, wherein user interactions may be monitored and processed by the adaptive storage device utilization system 130. In some embodiments, data storage 408 comprises a data structure database 416 to either supplement or replace data structure storage of the adaptive storage device utilization system 130 as previously discussed.

The systems of the environment 100 are configured to simulate and assess an impact caused by a change in a storage resource demand (e.g., a change in an input/output workload) and/or a change in a utilized storage technology due to a data migration. The invention addresses the need for accurate forecasting of data storage and transfer needs from ensuring configuration changes and providing adequate resource provisioning to avoid system failures such as reaching a memory breach point or a stack overflow point. The system enables input/output modeling and simulation to constantly assess the input/output dynamics due to downstream changes while also quantifying a rate of change in storage resource consumption in order to proactively predict the change in needs of a data structure. The system is configured to constantly analyze input/output behavior and detect subtle changes in a constructed model while recording the consumption and usage patterns of a stored data structure and/or a storage location. The system is further configured to optimally allocate input/output streams dynamically based on the monitored and modeled data. In some embodiments, the invention equips storage administrators with the ability to simulate the possible load due to new applications in a development environment and proactively calculate an accurate or efficient sizing of a data storage location environment.

FIGS. 5A and 5B provides an illustration of data flow within an adaptive data storage resource utilization system environment, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. As illustrated in the figures, the system environment comprises at least one data structure such as data structure 502. As used herein, a “data structure” may refer to any storage or ordered collection of data objects. In some embodiments, a data structure may refer to a stacked structure comprising one or more data layers, wherein data objects are added to the stack on top of previously entered items to form an ordered collection of layered data objects which can then be removed. Non-limiting examples of layered data structures or stacks include data caches and data queues for ordered processing. In some embodiments, a stack may provide storage for an associated application by providing storage for the application. In some embodiments, a data structure may refer to a protocol stack comprising layers of multiple network protocols working in unison.

In the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 5A, the system environment comprises a data structure 502 comprising layered data objects forming a stack. The layered data structure 502 comprises an application memory space 504, middle ware hosting engines 506, operating system 508, host operating system layer 510, file server arrays 512, and a network driver layer 514. Generally, a data structure, such as data structure 502, may comprise data layers 1-n. It should be understood that data structure 502 of FIG. 5A is merely an example of a data structure for purposes of explanation and that other data structures with alternative compositions or different layers may be processed by the system. For example, the system may be configured to initially assign units of I/O resources (e.g., 50 units of a total 200 available unites) to each individual or groups of layers based on data associated with each layer and/or stored historical consumption patterns or demands.

Each of the data layers of data structure comprises a static input/output consumption (e.g., io1−io(N+1)) assigned by the system based on a total number of data storage resources available at a current and/or target data storage location. The assigned static I/O resources act as a baseline for analysis and calculation of adaptive resource demand of the structure by the system. Each of the layers of the data structure further comprise an adaptive I/O consumption configuration of values (e.g., Aio1−Aio(N+1)) calculated by the system and deployed back to the data structure based on actual performance requirements of the data structure within an assigned data storage location as discussed herein.

The I/O performance of the data structure 502 is monitored and analyzed by I/O behavior monitor 516 and traffic analyzer 518 to determine usage patterns of the components of the data structure 502 such as a rate of data resource consumption (i.e., IOPS) and a volume of data resource consumption (e.g., total required bandwidth, total required memory storage). In some embodiments, the I/O behavior monitor 516 is configured to determine resource demand of a stack and/or individual layers in real-time. In some embodiments, the traffic analyzer 518 is configured to monitor data sequencing between the layers of a stacked structure and determine a flow of data between the layers which can have an impact on resource demand. The system further reaches out to a total storage 520 which comprises a total amount of data storage resources available to determine how much data storage resources are available. As illustrated in FIG. 5A, the total storage 520 comprises storage units 1-N. The data flow continues from the I/O behavior monitor 516 and the traffic analyzer 518 to the variable I/O module 528.

The system is further configured to output an analyzed data stream from the I/O behavior monitor 516 to a variable I/O change simulator and measure module 522 as illustrated in FIG. 5B. The simulator module 522 is configured to receive the baseline I/O assignments for the stacked data structure and construct a model that analyzes actual data storage resource consumption of each layer. The simulator module 522 comprises a plurality of central I/O trackers (e.g., 524 a-d) and usage simulators (e.g., 526 a-d) configured for receiving the data from the behavior monitor 516 and simulating a data storage resource demand for the individual components of the data structure 502. The usage simulator 526 is provided with a simulated I/O consumption (io(s)) based on an actual I/O consumption (io(a)) which may be the static baseline values initially assigned to the data structure 502. The usage simulator 526 models the simulated I/O consumption and outputs the modeled configuration information back to the corresponding layer within the testing environment of the simulator module 522. This process continuously refines a simulated data storage resource consumption to converge on an acceptable solution within predetermined limits set by a maintaining entity.

The simulated results from the variable I/O change simulator and measuring module 522 are output to variable I/O module 528 which also receives the current consumption of the actual stack from the traffic analyzer 518 as illustrated in FIGS. 5A and 5B. In addition, the variable I/O module 528 further is configured to receive operation data and event data (e.g., tracked events 530 and I/O queuing 532) from each of the components of the data structure indicating how the actual environment of the data structure is behaving. Event data may comprise, for example, incident reports, alerts, warnings, or the state of the data structure environment at any given point or context. The system is further configured to provide dependency mapping data 534 associated with the data structure 502 to the variable I/O module 528. In one embodiment, dependencies between data structures and/or layers of a stacked data structures are determined and mapped by a user or operator of the system. In another embodiment, the system is configured to automatically map dependencies of the data structure.

Using these inputs, the variable I/O module 528 is configured to compute the resource demand requirements of the data structure (e.g., stack and/or individual layer requirements) based on the functionality, usage, dependency, and contextual behaviors of the analyzed data structure. The variable I/O module 528 is configured to calculate a configuration of the available data storage resources and deploy the configuration for the data structure based on the input factors. The variable I/O module 528 is configured to allocate the available resource for the combined data structure with a tolerance for each of the components and further define throttling for the components. In this way, the system provides an adaptable engine for allocating data storage resources based on the continual collection of event data and behavioral data of the data structure over time. The variable I/O configuration 538 is deployed for the data structure 502, wherein the calculated adaptive I/O assigned values (i.e., Aio1−Aio(N+1)) provided to the data structure.

FIG. 6 provides a high level process flow for adaptive data storage resource modeling and deployment, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. In some embodiments, the process flow of FIG. 6 is executed or performed by the system environments of the previous figures. As illustrated at block 610 of FIG. 6, the system is configured to first determine a new workload request for a data structure. As previously discussed, the data structure may comprise one or more layers in a stack configured for storing data objects. In some embodiments, the new workload request may comprise a change in the data storage resource demand. In one embodiment, a change in the data storage resource demand of a new workload request may be associated executed input/output operations for the data structure (e.g., IOPS). For example, the new workload request may require a shift in the allocated data storage resources, wherein additional or fewer data storage resources are required for one or more components of the data structure based on calculated demand.

In some embodiments, a change in a data storage resource demand may be associated with a change in resource storage locations. In one non-limiting example, a new workload request may be associated with a migration of a data structure from a source storage environment to a target storage environment (i.e., between storage locations), wherein the source storage environment and the target storage environment are different storage locations having different available data storage resources (e.g., total available memory, operation speed, data channel bandwidth).

At block 620, the system is configured to analyze resource usage patterns of the layers of the data structure. The system may be configured to constantly monitor usage patterns and behavior of the data structure and detect any changes such as changes in resource demand, changes to the organization of the data structure (e.g., removal or addition of a layer), access frequency or data calls for one or more layers of the data structure, and the like. In one embodiment, the analyzed resource usage patterns for the data structure include a rate of resource consumption and a volume of resource consumption for the data structure as a whole and/or individual components of the data structure. As discussed with respect to FIG. 5A, the system comprises a behavior monitor module configured for analyzing a volume of data storage resource consumption by the data structure and a traffic analyzer module configured for analyzing a rate of data storage resource consumption by the data structure.

The system is further configured to analyze the data structure to identify interlayer dependences of the data structure. For example, in a particular data structure, data may first be required to pass through a first data layer before passing through a second data layer, wherein the second layer has a dependency on the first layer. In this example, the first layer may act as bottleneck for the second layer and limit a data throughput for the data structure as a whole. In some embodiments, the system is further configured to identify event operation data associated with the data structure. In some embodiments, the event operation data may comprise state information, incident data, alert data, warning data, and environment behavior data associated with the data structure. In one embodiment, the event operation data is fed to the system by a maintaining entity and/or system operator.

At block 630, the system is configured to simulate a change in a data storage resource demand for each of the layers of the data structure based on the new workload request. The system is configured to construct a simulated model of the data structure under the new workload conditions and resource demands. The system constructs the simulated model based on the actual current performance of the data structure using an initial static resource allocation and the analyzed usage patterns, behavior, and traffic of the data structure. The system calculates a new, simulated resource demand for the data structure and models the result within a testing environment. The system is configured to continuously recalculate the simulated resource allocation for the data structure within the testing environment to determine a potential solution. In some embodiments, the system is configured to simulate performance for individual components of a data structure within a testing environment. In one exemplary embodiment, the system is configured to simulate or model the impact of latency associated with a new workload request.

At block 640, the system is configured to calculate an adaptive storage resource configuration based on the resource usage patterns of the layers and the constructed model. The system is configured to receive the simulated results from the constructed model as well as the current consumption of the actual data structure from the behavior monitor and traffic analyzer modules. The system combines this data with the collected operation and event data and the dependency mapping for the data structure. Using these inputs, the system is configured to compute the resource demand requirements of the data structure (e.g., stack and/or individual layer requirements) based on the functionality, usage, dependency, and contextual behaviors of the analyzed data structure. The system is configured to calculate a configuration of the available data storage resources and deploy the configuration for the data structure based on the input factors. The system is configured to allocate the available resource for the combined data structure with a tolerance for each of the components and further define throttling for the components. In this way, the system provides an adaptable engine for allocating data storage resources based on the continual collection of event data and behavioral data of the data structure over time.

At block 650, the system is configured to deploy the calculated adaptive data storage resource configuration for the data structure location, wherein storage resources of the data storage location are allocated based on the adaptive data storage resource configuration. In some embodiments, the system is configured to continually assess and recalculate the adaptive data storage resource configuration based on the change in the data storage resource demand. In this way, the system may continually evaluate and recalculate the demands of the data structure as the resource demands change over time.

In one embodiment, the system is further configured to identify a point of failure in the data structure for the new workload request based on the analyzed resource consumption and simulated model of the data structure. A point of failure for the data structure may comprise a breach limit, overflow point, or a performance bottleneck for the data structure and/or an individual component of the data structure, wherein the current resource allocation will be inadequate for the data storage resource demands of a storage location. In response, the system may be configured to calculate a simulated breach limit for the data storage location based on the new workload request, wherein the data storage resource demand of the data structure exceeds the storage resources of the data storage location.

In some embodiments, the system may be configured to determine that the data storage resource demand is approaching a calculated breach limit for the data storage location. The system may be further configured to deploy additional storage resources before a memory overflow occurs in response to determining that the data storage resource demand is approaching the breach limit. For example, the system may allocate additional memory or alternative memory (e.g., higher capacity and/or performance memory hardware) for the data structure to alleviate the impending point of failure. In another example, the system may migrate at least a portion of the data structure to an alternative of supplemental data storage location.

In a specific embodiment of the invention, the system enables intelligent data storage resource provisioning for a data structure based on the analyzed data, simulated storage models and performance, and fault tolerance analysis. A user of the system may inform a data storage provider accurate resource requirements for storage of a data structure on the systems and hardware of the provider. Based on the usage patterns and simulated performance of a stored data structure, the user may inform the provider of specific data storage resource requirements for a stored data structure over time. For example, the system may show that the data structure requires a first amount of memory during a first period of time and second amount of memory during a second period of time. Furthermore, the adaptive data storage utilization of the present invention may shift data storage resource allocation during these periods to accommodate the change in resource demands. Additionally, the adaptive data storage utilization may enable a user to optimize data storage resource provisioning with respect to storage cost by providing accurate resource demands of a data structure. For example, the system may enable a user to be informed as to the resource demands of the data structure and choose a mixture of high cost, high performance memory and lower cost, lower performance memory based on the specific needs of the data structure. In a specific example, lower cost and performance memory may be used for the data structure during a non-production period or for a non-production data structure or application.
